417 Great transformation ② - Reunion

"Schmiral... Oh, Schmiral, well done, you're safe!

I grabbed Similar's hand while I was still passionate.

Long fingers, thin but powerful, warm hands decorated with lots of rings.

Schmiral held my hand back with the same smile on his face.

"Asta, too, was safe, above all. I'm so glad you're doing well."

Then the other members approached me from left to right and greeted me one by one.

One long-sleeved Radajid, one elderly person who specializes in astrology, and one young person who visited my stall first among the members of the group - the number of whom was exactly ten.

The Pot of Silver has returned to Genos without any shortage.

I was already so shaken to tears.

"I've been really waiting for you. I couldn't come back after six months, so you were worried, right? Of course, I believed you were safe..."

"I'm sorry. There was a situation."

Schmiral was still smiling as he held my hand.

Even though Sim's people consider moving their expressions a disgrace, Schmiral keeps smiling. That was the most important sign that Schmiral had not abandoned his desire to be a forest people.

"I want to talk, it's a lot. After work, time, can I have it?

"Of course! We're headed to the settlement of Lou, right?

"Yes.... Luu's settlement, to go, is it acceptable?

Schmiral's black eyes can be turned against me.

There, Sheila-Lou was smiling the same way.

"Yes, it is up to the head Donda-Lou to welcome you into the house as a guest, but we will guide you to the settlement"

Sheila-Lou was also one of those who stood by when she broke up with the Silver Pot.

By the way, Rimi-Lou was supposed to be the first person to meet, but of course I guess I hear from my brother and sisters about the presence of Schmiral. My eyes gleam as I work fine in the Blue Sky dining room, staring at this one.

In the meantime, Schmiral saluted Sheila-Lou, "Thank you.

"I apologize for stopping you. Asta, go ahead, work, go back."

"Yes, but I'm worried if I can get the job"

"That, you shouldn't. Asta, do your job, fulfill it. … asta, food, very delicious"

The Schmirals were already in the process of purchasing a street snack and mouthing it in the Blue Sky Dining Room.

I let go of my hand from Schmiral, plucked my eyes with the back of my hand, and then made him laugh in the light.

"Thank you for your purchase. Work is up to two moments, so I'll see you later."

"Two moments, I understand. I enjoy and do."

That's how I bowed my head to all ten and then went back to my place of work.

The sun had already fallen on Jomtien, and the stalls were about to be packed with large numbers of customers.

◇

"We arrived this morning, Genos."

After the sale, Schmiral told me that as he was rocked by Gill's luggage truck.

"Accommodation Town Inn, Luggage Car, Deposited. After that, Castle Town, I ran errands, Accommodation Town, I came back. Asta, away from the stall, it seemed right away."

"This time too, the Inn is the Xuanrong Pavilion, right? But today the Lew family was on duty to deliver the food to the Xuanrong Pavilion, so I couldn't hear that the Schmirals were coming back"

Nair, the master of The Xuanrong Pavilion, doesn't know what kind of fringe Schmiral spins with people besides me by the woods. And which way, Schmiral would soon be visiting our stalls, so I guess he didn't even bother to say anything.

Thanks to this, we were reunited with great surprise and emotion.

"Different changes, surprised. But, Astas, you're safe, so above all."

Schmiral, who went as far as the castle town, already knew Cycleus' leg loss.

When Schmiral left Genos, it was just before we were in full conflict with Cycleus and the others. That's what Schmiral told me that he cared most about that point.

But Schmiral, too, would have been a great surprise. Cycleus, who was in conflict with the people of the woods, was seized as a sinner when he was exposed to old evil. It could hardly have been imagined, for example, that Count Turan, who was second only to Lord Malstein of Genos, would fall after a confrontation with the people by the woods.

"And the lodging town, the different ingredients, it was flooded. It was also very surprising."

"Yeah, I've had a lot going on in the last six months or so..."

In the fifteen minutes from the Inn Town to the settlement of Luu, it was not enough to speak up.

But Yun-Sudra took over the driving of the luggage, so I could monopolize Schmiral for those fifteen minutes. Schmiral had prepared one luggage car at Schmiral, but its operation was held by the deputy commander, Radajid.

"Speaking of which, what's loaded in that luggage truck over there?

"There, it's the fruit of the journey. Me, the means to hunt Giva, I was looking. That's why I'm late, going back to Genos."

"Oh, I see..."

With the words of Vina-Lou, who promised not to be a hunter, that Donda-Lou would never forgive his son-in-law, Schmiral would try to build his own way of hunting.

Months within a year run the world as a man of the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise living as a people by the woods. That was Schmiral's wish.

But is it really possible, for example, to do giva hunting work on Schmiral without a hunter?

For me, that was my best feeling.

"Schmiral, this is something I learned recently... that people by the woods are forbidden to use poison to hunt Giva, right?

Let me put it that way, and Schmiral leaned his neck strangely.

"The people of Sims, the treatment of poisonous grass, they are good. But hunting jobs, using poison grass, I don't. Poisonous grass, to protect yourself, I will use it."

"Oh, so, Schmiral, have you had any experience hunting any other beasts?

"No. I'm a merchant. Hunter, experience, no. The beast that strikes, it's about to be exterminated."

So, have you unearthed the kind of traps that are effective for hunting?

Schmiral once said that it was the knowledge gained through the world that was his power.

"Wang Du, means of hunting, found. I'm sure it'll be effective, Giva Hunting."

"Really? But don't be too impotent, okay? I'm not a hunter either, but I could be recognized as a family."

"Asta, the power of cooking, it's great. Admittedly, naturally."

That said, Schmiral smiled quietly again.

Tul-din and the others are watching over us like that without a word. Even Tour-Din, the oldest of these stocks, was completely new to Schmiral.

"The food on the street, it was very delicious. Chaska, similar dishes, strange."

"Oh, that's my hometown dish, it's called pasta or spaghetti."

"Pasta Toka Spaghetti......?

"Oh, no, it's pasta. I call it pasta."

"Pasta, I understand. And the cooking of the organ was delicious."

"Oh, that's the" Gibba's Mothpot "that everyone in the Lew family found. When it comes to Giva's organs in the first place, this Tour-Din gave me a hands-on -"

And, after that, the Tour-dins were able to get involved and have the most nasty time.

Only Lily-Lavitz is silent and eager to see how we are, as if he had turned into a real vault.

Speaking of which, has the existence of Schmiral not also been communicated to the family, except the Lew family? At the suggestion of Lyelpham-Sudra, a network of manpower contacts began to be laid in a vast settlement by the forest, just from the day of Schmiral's visit.

On that day, a lesson was constructed that conveyed the importance of the forest side from house to house in messages. But since it was still a time when I had problems with Cycleus at that time, it seemed not to have been told the final story, such as "the people of the east visited the Lou family".

(Still, Schmiral wanted Vina-Lou to be his son-in-law, what a story, that should only be passed on to Luu's family and Fa's house)

In what way does Vina-Lou or Donda-Lou welcome Schmiral? Thinking about it, my chest made a scene without refusing.

So quickly time ran out and we arrived at the settlement of Luu.

Then Yun-Sudra, who held the reins, called me "Asta".

"Aren't we the only ones who can handle the Sung family today enough?

"What? But..."

"If it wasn't enough, there won't be a problem if Asta adds strength after tomorrow. For a day or so, I think Asta should be free to sift around too"

I barely told him the story, but he guessed something from his expression and his words and actions.

I was greatly troubled but decided to sweeten up here to Yun-Sudra's suggestion.

"I'm sorry. Then, please. Can you tell the Sung family that I look forward to seeing you tomorrow, too?

"Roger that. So, let us use Fafa's luggage truck."

At the entrance to the settlement, we were all supposed to get out of the van once.

Yun-Sudra and the others head toward Fafa's luggage truck, where Fay-Baim held the reins. Of those, only Lily-Lavitz stayed with me and Schmiral.

"Asta, I'd like to stay on this occasion, too, wouldn't you?

"Huh? Why?

"I'm not going to the Sung family either, so I thought if something went wrong, I should see it through."

Ravitz is a family that weighs in one way or another an old lesson.

Or me, Ai-Fa, etc. have been clearly told by Day-Ravitz "I don't care".

For them like that, the presence of Schmiral, wishing to be son-in-law to Vina-Lou, may not have made much sense to hide it here, although he doesn't care less than me or Ai-Fa. One important thing in the woodland is that all families should know.

"Okay. You're going to be left to Donda-Lou about how he behaved in the settlement of Lou, but that's okay, right?

"Yes, of course."

So it was decided that me and Schmiral and Lily-Lavitz would stay on the spot.

The luggage truck carrying the Fay-Baim's leaves, "I'll see you later," he said.

Instead of us, we have Lulu's luggage with Limi-Lu holding the reins, a two-headed luggage with Radajid holding the reins, and Yamir-Ray and Zwei sent so far to Fafa's luggage.

Thus came down from the luggage of Lulu, Sheila-Lu and Morn-Lutim, the Ladies of Minn and Ray, and Mim.

"Well, let's come."

Led by Sheila-Lou, they all set foot in the settlement of Lou.

In the square, young children are running around.

Some of them tried to rush over here with a smile on their faces, but noticed what the Schmirals looked like and stopped on their feet.

Six months ago, it is the same scenario.

For young children who never go down to the boarding town, it is literally alien to be a man of the town. If only there had been a prior notification, as when Dora's fathers had been invited. However, when a stranger suddenly visited, there was no denying that it would have been such a reaction.

"Now I beg your pardon."

Mim left on the way back to Michelle's waiting house.

That's how I ran through the square, and I saw a shadow in front of the main house.

Donda-Lou and Lyada-Lou.

Both of those names, not participating in the hunter's work, were encouraging him to train in front of the main house.

He holds a long stick of grigi in his hand and meets it from close range.

The standing position remained unchanged and the outfit seemed to be that Donda-Lou was bouncing back at the attack launched by Lyada-Lou.

Lyada-Lou, who retreated from the hunter's job after injuring his leg, but the sharpness of the attack did not allow the fine dust to feel faded either.

After all, Donda-Lou sifts the stick with one left hand. I guess he's layering his workouts with his left arm alone because he's injured his right shoulder. Defending Lyada-Lu's sharp offense with a sharper move than that. It was such a fierce offense that a sturdy grigi stick would break its snare.

"Donda, Dad, I'm back! So, I brought you a guest!

Limi-Luu, who holds Luluu's reins, gives a full voice.

When Lyada-Lou stopped his hand, Donda-Lou looked back at this one without disturbing his breath.

The blue eye captures the appearance of Schmiral and narrows it down.

"Are you... the people of the east at that time?

"Yes, it's Schmiral. It's a hiccup, Chief Donda-Lou."

Schmiral unhooks his cape without hesitation.

Donda-Lou silently threw away Grigi's stick.

"Um, Donda, I need to talk to my dad and my sister Vina! Vina, can I get my sister?

"... and finally get Meer Ray too. All of you, how long have you been here?"

"Rika-yi!

Rimi-Lou heads to the back of the house as he pulls his luggage with Galagoro.

"Then we too," Sheila-Lou said, offering her hand to me.

"Asta, should I take care of your luggage with Totos?

"Oh, thank you.... Um, Donda-Lou, may I join you and Lilli-Ravitz?

"... that it's Ravitz? You don't sound familiar."

"Starting today, we're going to be doing this together with Asta. Ravitz will be the family to house on the south side of Sung's settlement"

Lily-Lavitz lowers her head with the usual soft face.

"Let's not say goodbye or weird that the people of the town, but also the exotic people Sims, visit forestside settlements. I guess I can tell you the details later, but I wanted to see them with my own eyes anyway."

"... on your own," said Donda-Lou, abandoning his lack of interest.

Receiving Radajid's drawstring, Sheila-Lou and the others disappear into the back of the house.

Yamil-Ray and the others followed it, so only me, Schmiral and Lily-Lavitz, and Radajid, were left on the spot.

In exchange for Sheila-Lou and the others, two ladies are coming.

It is Mother Meer Ray and Vina-Lou.

Vina-Lou saw Schmiral only for a moment.

But then I immediately lay my eyes down.

When I looked back in panic, Schmiral stared more at Vina-Lou.

"Oh, no, it's a hiccup. Do you remember me?

When Mother Meer Ray relieved the air on the spot with a cheerful voice, Schmiral nodded yes.

"Parent Donda-Lou's daughter-in-law, Vina-Lou's mother, Meer Ray-Lou, this is Hiccup"

"Yeah, you were Schmiral, weren't you? Are you one of them?

"Yes." Silver Kettle, "Radajid-Ghi-Nafashiar. Schmiral, I work with you, I'm a compatriot."

"Radajid. Welcome to Lew's house.... Well, shall I ask you to come up? That doesn't matter, does it, Parent?

Donda-Lou didn't answer, he just pulled into the house.

After dropping off that big back, Lyada-Lu looks back at us.

"Looks like I'm done with the workout, so I'll let you go home. Asta, breathe."

"Yes, Lyada-Lu too"

We stepped into Lew's house under the guidance of Mother Meer Ray.

Schmiral and Radajid leave their hips daggers and leather capes with Mother Meer Ray and break their knees in the lower seat.

Three of the Lew family and four of their guests were thus to face each other once again in the hall.

"I'm listening to you and Vina all the time. But I heard you were coming back six months later, so I didn't think it would make sense until then to get rid of it, so I kept it that way."

And, first, Mother Meer Ray turns off her mouth fires with a smile.

"So, well, I'd like you to let me know that I'm feeling all the same. What are you visiting Lew's house for today, your guest Schmiral?

"Yes," Schmiral said, keeping his spine upright.

"I, Vina-Lou, son-in-law, wish. To be forgiven, to ask, has come."

I already held a sweat in my hand on my own.

Vina-Lou, who sat next to Mother Meer Ray, still has her eyes down and Donda-Lou even burns her blue eyes.

"I see. You're Asta's friend, and you do a lot of things about the people by the woods, don't you?

"Yes."

"Still, do you wish to be son-in-law to the Lew family?

"Yes."

"Right. Well, you should ask Vina how she feels first."

Vina-Lou shook her shoulders with a tingle.

Mother Meer Ray smiles and peeks into that nagging side.

"Vina, how are you feeling? If you refuse that offer, there's no point in overlapping words any more. Are you willing to welcome this Schmiral to your son-in-law once you've left aside the woodland lesson or something like that?

"I…", Vina-Lou raised a faint voice.

"... I believe that... I cannot be... a man of unknown sexual roots as a companion... wow..."

"Hmm. Does that mean you can't accept or refuse this offer until you know what kind of sexual roots you're taking?

…………

"Vina, there's nothing hard to think about. Just let me know how you honestly feel."

"... I think Mother Meer Ray is right..."

And Vina-Lou got more and more annoyed.

I have long chestnut hair spilling off and I no longer know what look you're wearing. If I let it go, it's going to crash and collapse as it is.

"Right," Mother Meer Ray smiled as she saw her daughter like that.

"Then we'll have to talk a lot about how you can accept this one.... is it permissible for the people by the woods to welcome the leftovers as partners, what's going on there, parents?

"... the people by the woods have never welcomed a human outside as their companion. I've told you that before."

Schmiral nods "Yes" to the sound of Donda-Lou's bottom.

"Besides, this Vina is the eldest sister in the main house of the chieftaincy muscle Lew. Do you know how big it is for Vina to welcome an exotic people as her companion?

"I understand correctly, I don't know if I can do it. But I want to understand and understand correctly."

Donda-Lou is twisting Schmiral like he is.

The relative Schmiral is the faceless expression of nature.

I already had a heart attack that wasn't normal.

"Well, let me ask you a lot.... are you ready to be a family by the woods like Asta, Shmiral?

"Yes."

"Can you take the forest as a god, live in a settlement by the forest, and give your soul back to the forest?

"No," Schmiral shook his head sideways for the first time.

"I take the forest as a god, I'm ready. Forestside settlements, I want to live in, I hope. Soul in the woods, to give back, I think. … but me, the work of the Chamber of Commerce, I want to continue, I hope"

"Yeah. That's how you heard it from the Vinas, too. Can you tell me a little more about that place?

"Yes. Silver Kettle, Kingdom of the West, tour. That period, six months. Otherwise, I'll live in my hometown. I want it to be my hometown, a settlement by the woods, I think."

This required supplementation.

Plus, Schmiral wasn't very fluent in the West language, so I'm strong on numbers to wrap up the story.

"Er," The Pot of Silver "is supposed to spend a year touring the western kingdom, resting for six months in my hometown, and on a journey again. But if Schmiral could be son-in-law to the people of the woods, he would still be able to spend time in the woods while the rest of the group travels back and forth with Sims."

Getting to and from Sims and Genos takes nearly two months one way. If you go back and forth, it's four months. So, in the course of a year touring the West Kingdom, that four-month period is also included.

Yet the Pot of Silver has also spent a long time in this Genos. Another month after visiting from Sim and spending six months in the west kingdom doing business. Spend a total of two months in this Genos. Then the last two months can also be deducted from the year, so it will only take six months for Schmiral to leave Genos.

The Radajids will move on the same schedule as before, so once the business in Genos is over, they will return to Sims, so once they are apart from Schmiral, they will take two months to return to their homeland, they will take six months off, they will take another two months to come out to Genos, and they will rendezvous with Schmiral.

In summary, in response to the Radajids' lifestyle of "spending a year doing business and spending six months in their homeland," Schmiral settles into a lifestyle of "spending six months doing business and spending a year in a woodland settlement.

"I see. Then you'll spend a third of your life outside the woods."

"Yes."

"Um, can I admit that people who live outside for so long are my compatriots by the woods"

With a gentle smile, Mother Meer Ray said so.

Schmiral said yes with the same attitude and the same expression.

"I do my best to be recognized, I think. Six months, home, for leaving, I want to live hard, I want to."

"I don't know in what way I mean by hard work. All the men by the woods work as hunters, right? Except for someone who was injured like Lyada-Lu earlier, or a fine Kamadoku number like Asta."

"Yes, I'm a merchant, so I want you to forgive me for the form of effort, for making it a number,"

"Numbers?" Mother Meer Ray rounds her eyes.

Schmiral nodded, "Yes" again.

"For example, a hunter by the woods, in a year and six months, a hundred giva, suppose to hunt. Me, in a year, a hundred giva, if you can hunt, six months, leaving the woodland, wouldn't you be forgiven?

To this word, Donda-Lou's eyes burned up with tremendous momentum.

"O people of the east, are you a hunter?

"No, I'm a merchant."

"Is that what you want when you try to hunt Gibba with a force stronger than us?

"Yes," Schmiral responded, so Donda-Lou finally burned both eyes very badly.

"... I remember hearing that the people of the east deal with poison. But you're not allowed to use poison to hunt Giva"

"Yes. Poisoned grass, I won't use it"

"So, how do we hunt Giva?

"Wang Du, that way, I found it. Probably, valid, I think. In fact, if you try, I don't know."

Donda-Lou suddenly twisted his mouth.

It is the laughter of that beast when he hath put his enemies before him.

"Interesting... show us what kind of manipulation that is. Later, then."

"Yes," Schmiral stood up.

"Giva, means for hunting, luggage, loaded. I brought it to see you."

"That's a good thing you're ready for."

Donda-Lou also wakes up the sleigh of

So we're going outdoors again.

The luggage is stored on the back of the house, so we all head over there.

Then Rimi-Lou, who was boiling Poitan in an outdoor kamado, said, "Um?" He shouted out loud.

"Have we finished talking yet? That was a long time ago."

"No, I need to run some errands on my luggage."

Donda-Lou was silent, so I asked him to answer instead.

In the meantime, Schmiral has already arrived at his luggage, which is so huge because it's a two-headed pull, a luggage with two coupled carriages. It's a square box shape, so I don't know what it's equipped with from the outside.

To the carrier on the back of the van, Schmiral had his hands on it.

Its black fingertips unravel the wooden door.

"This is the means to hunt Gibba."

Donda-Lou peeked into its contents first.

That side gives me a fierce look of surprise.

"Hey, is this -?"

"Wang Du, I found it. Me, hunting Gibba, it's power."

Mother Meer Ray also gave a surprise voice, and even Vina-Lou, in autumn mode, held her mouth.

I rush over there, too, peeking into the carriage through everyone's gap.

So, I got to be heartily stunned, too.

"Wow, what is this! What's wrong!?

And Rimi-Lou, who was clinging behind me, let the voice of joy slip.

Hidden nodding there were all six hounds, all with splendid bodies and brown fur.
